Participation process
The Voorlei Estate is a former healthcare location in Leidschendam, close to the border of Voorburg (hence the name ‘Voorlei’). This location is being transformed into a living a contemporary healthcare estate.

The Voorlei Estate is a unique residential area where you can enjoy a natural environment in peace and quiet, and at the same time experience the liveliness of the surrounding cities. In the vicinity you can walk, cycle or picnic at the recreation area Vlietland, the Haagse Bos, the Horsten, the Duinstrook and Kasteel Duivenvoorde. Here you will soon live wonderfully in the green and at the same time in the middle of the Randstad with all its amenities.

The estate is divided into seven different areas, with different atmospheres and architecture. Therefore we have selected 7 different architects: ZECC, Braaksma Roos, DOK architects, De Zwarte Hond, Hylkema, Wiel Arets and Peter Bovijn Architect.

Activities
- 2017-2029
For this project we have put our efforts in changing the zoning plan, a participation trajectory with the neighborhoud, the urban and architectural designs of the whole estate and different areas and the investment models.
After changing the zoning plan, MBEG sold their shares of this project to Borghese Real Estate, who is currently developing the estate together with KWP (Volker Wessels).

PROJECT SPECIALTY
Well-being
Landgoed Voorlei will be a place where health comes first. “Here you live on an estate. That is really something different from living in a green environment. […] The monumental entrance with the impressive avenue of trees, the orchard with various fruit trees such as cherry, pear or apple. A vegetable garden and a herb garden. A stately ornamental pond and a romantic forest pond. Extensive flower meadows, forests and shrubs. Landgoed Voorlei will be a high-quality estate that equals the quality of historic estates in the immediate vicinity and in some respects even surpasses it. A privilege to live here.”
“Green only becomes more beautiful over the years. […]
An estate that we can proudly pass on to future generations. Here, an ecosystem is begin created in which insects, frogs and herons, but also the woodpecker, the owl, the nuthatch and the sparrowhawk feel at home.”
Even if your health could use some extra help, Landgoed Voorlei is the ideal place, enabling service apartments and a care centre in the former church at the beginning of the estate.
